I've been to Johor quite number of times but most of the times, either I stayed at my friends' house or mainly just for stopover to Singapore. So when I about to go Johor for Legoland, I asked my sister, who is currently working in Singapore and she always went to Johor for weekend trip, asking her which hotel would she recommend me to stay and she suggested me this - 11@Century Hotel, Johor Bahru.
#1: Overview of 11@Century Hotel
As we reserved the room through Agoda.com, all we need to do was printed out the hotel reservation number and showed our identification card upon check-in. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free and the next thing we know, we were given room card as well as breakfast coupon without any deposit needed.
#2: Standard queen size room
The size of the room was moderately spacious and it looked very modern and descent. The room was pretty simple which equipped with a queen size bed, LCD flat screen, free WiFi internet access and in-room safety box. There is no mini bar, table and chair provided within the room and in case you need hairdryer, iron and ironing board, you need to request from the housekeeping or counter desk, which I found it's kinda troublesome.
#3: Bathroom with standard toilet amenities provided
When we looked into the bathroom, we were quite surprised with the huge size of the bathroom. Like I mentioned above, there is no hairdryer within bathroom and they will provide you upon request.
#4: Complimentary coffee and tea making facilities
The room was adequate comfort but there still need a room for improvement when comes to cleanliness. We spotted quite number of small cockroaches not just inside the room, but also in the bathroom. Well, of course we weren't afraid of those cockroaches but somehow felt kind disgusting seeing them crawling within the room.
#5: Complimentary breakfast buffet
Throughout our stayed here, we were entitled for complimentary breakfast buffet every morning. The buffet spread was pretty simple with the range from Asian to western meals such toast bread, eggs, nasi lemak, fried noodle, baked bean and fruit juices.
#6: The main plus point of this hotel was it located very near to KSL City Mall
Travel Tip
If you plan to go to JB Sentral for entering Singapore Woodlands customs, it took less than 10 minute drive and the taxi fare mostly cost less than RM10.
Date Stayed: 24 January 2013 - 27 January 2013 (3 nights)
Rate We Paid : RM115.00 per night for a standard queen size room inclusive breakfast (Booked via Agoda.com)
Disclaimer:
This review is truly based on my own personal experience and is my genuine and honest opinion of this hotel, and that I have no personal or business relationship with this establishment.
The hotels in Singapore are so expensive now and I should learn to stay in JB like my friends. They just crossed over by bus early morning and return late at night. So easy!
ReplyDeleteThat hotel is nice and so reasonably priced!
Umm. Cockroaches and bed bugs are definite no no when I select accommodation though :/

ReplyDeleteCockroaches in hotel room? Gosh, I'll probably freak out! Didn't you feedback to the front desk? Don't think I'll be nice about it if I were you. Like Cubie, insects are no-no for me.
ReplyDeleteroaches ??? yikes. Definitely needs to hire pest control
ReplyDeletecockroaches!!!??? Why don't you ask for room exchange?
ReplyDeleteoh, cockroaches, you should complaint it. Not so comfortable to live in room with cockroaches.
ReplyDeleteWe are planning next weekend in JB and just booked this hotel as almost all other hotels are fully booked.Our basic point to book this hotel is its location (near to KSL). Found this post when I was checking for reviews,Thanks for sharing your experience.It is really helpful and I wish there won't be any cockroach during our stay there :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amila! Glad you found this blogpost useful and I guess maybe the luck wasn't on my side cause so far, my sister stayed here quite few times but she never seen any cockroaches in her room. Hopefully yours wont too. Enjoy your stay here.
